This film
is the official documentary report compiled from over 80,000 feet of film
shot by Allied military photographers in the German concentration camps
immediately after liberation. The footage is a camp-by-camp record taken
in order to provide lasting objective proof of the horrors the liberators
witnessed there. Some emphasis is also placed on the humanitarian work
done in the camps by the liberators. Remarkably, the narration refers
to the camp victims according to their country of origin only, and no
mention of Jews is made.
